blower is used... off of a running car.. the car ran fine... I talked to a few people and they said a little oil on the impellers is normall.. and sometimes you may have a little near the inlet...?

My buddy with his T trim said it's normal... so I assume its just excess oil that doesnt get run down the return on the oil line...
so no biggy it looks like...
Time to bolt the blower on! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Just call vortech, It only cost around 300 for the rebuild, and just if your wondering no they wont sell you a rebuild kit, you have to send it to them, tried that one all ready. The guy about shit when I told him I took it apart..lol I had a little in play in the shaft and the seal was pinched so I just sent to them. Beware the tend to lag so dont count on the time frame they give you.
